Not totally positive about airplane, but DPS car was sitting at top of Motezuma Well? (Exit 289, where Cliff Castle Casino is)) ramp and my detector never made a peep.

Comment (4/2003): I-17 Northbound at the bottom of the hill is 65. Not 66. Camp Verde Police Department, and the local Marshall's office are known for excessive tickets on Interstate 17, it's very much of the town's revenue. The police officers are well known to lie in court, and manufacture "evidence". Even the toen Judge has thorwn out convictions because of fabricated evidence. Beware this area of Interstate 17, and avoid all businesses in the area.

Comment (7/2003): I think the last person to post meant speed limit is 65 not 75!

Comment (10/2003): you do not pull over someone for going 66 in a 65

Comment (4/2004): Don't know about that, but there are DPS and CV Marshal's officers all over the stretch from Gen. Crook Trail (MP 285) to Middle Verde (MP 289). The speed limit is 65 from about Hwy. 260 (MP 287) over Copper Canyon to almost Cherry Road (Hwy. 169), that's southbound, but the speed is the same both directions. CV and DPS officers sit around the General Crook Trail turnoff, catching people going too fast down the hill, and also north of the Hwy. 260 turnoff, where the overpass hides them. Some construction warrants enforcement, but they have way too much time and too many tickets on their hands.

Comment (5/2004): I have been fortunate not get a ticket, but have seen numerous cars pulled over, north bound between Cherry Hill Road and McGuireville exits. Especially coming down the hill at Copper Canyon.

Comment (12/2004): This also pertains to South bound. I was once ticketed by an AZ DPS who was sitting under the bridge at Cherry Road. This has been at least 10 years ago but, have seen them there on many occassions since then.

As you are going from Phoenix to Flagstaff, Arizona Highway Patrol runs a speed trap as you are coming off the mountain and going into Camp Verde. You usually only see the patrol cars in freeway exit on ramps waiting for suspected speeders as you enter Camp Verde. Now thay usually have one patrol car running radar in the diesel emergency pullout area which is hidden as you speed down the mountain into Camp Verde. Usually this officer clocks the speeders and radios ahead to other waiting officers sitting on the freeway on ramps.
